on the edge (closed)

Smallpaw stalked warrily through the heather. She had her ears pricked, and he tail close to the ground. She had rolled in FoxDung before crossing the boarder, but she was still on the look out. Smallpaw stopped at the edge of Windclan territory, and waited for Nightpaw.

Duskshadow padded slowly through the bushes, prey in jaws. He preferred hunting alone. Ears immediately pricked at the sound of leaves crunching. The dark tom stalked forward, as if stalking prey. Keeping his belly low to the ground he peeked out from behind heather. Smallpaw? He had seen the younger cat at multiple Gatherings. He waited silently for a few moments before pressing down the heather, revealing himself to the single cat, ears still perked for signs of anymore. \"What are you doing here?! This is WindClan territory." Duskshadow growled, lips bared in a snarl.

Nightpaw wrinkled his nose at his own scent, pure vile. And as the sun began to rise Nightpaw knew he would stick out like a sore thumb on the open moorland with out even a shadow in site... But that single far away tree that was near the border of RiverClan and WindClan. "Should we head for that tree?" mewed Nightpaw finally feeling safe enough to talk at a normal tone instead of a whisper. But there was something in the air, he could sense Tigerstar was near, and something else. Something WindClan, he turned his head as he saw a dark tom, with fur almost as dark as his but without the deep blue eyes. Ignoring the insults he got into a fighting stance claws unsheathed. "Back off you wind blown rat."

Smallpaw spun around at the sound of another cat. T-that's not Tigerstar! She raised her hachles. "None of your bussiness!" The small apprentice mewed bravely. Foxdung!

A massive brown tabby tom stepped out of the Heather, near Smallpaw and Nightpaw. "Don't worry... They are with me... They are of no threat to your clan..." Tigerstar grunted. Yet... The Darkclan leader put himself infront of the Windclan Warrior, and Nightpaw.

Duskshadow bared his teeth in rage, fangs glistening in the sunlight. Claws slid out, leaving dents in the area. The tom leaned back to pounce, eyes filled with hatred, glistening with the excitement of a brawl. "I believe you're on my territory. You back off before I shred you." He flexed his back legs in preperation to leap.

The tom's eyes narrowed as another dark cat padded out from the growth, slightly bigger than he. Tigerstar?! Duskshadow hissed at the beast of a creature "Tigerstar! You're supposed to be dead."

Nightpaw let his fur fall flat, walking to the side of Tigerstar so he could see the scrawny WindClan cat clearly. Sheathing his claws, he could tell this rat was slightly bigger, but obviously not having eaten anything but half starved rabbits. This cat was something to be afraid of, and a lot like him in looks, "I remember seeing you at Gatherings." Nightpaw murmured to himself cocking his head to one side and narrowing his eyes.

Tigerstar smirked. "That's what everyone thinks..." He grunted. "We will not be here long... Infact, we were just leaving..." Tigerstar turned, flicking his tail for the Apprentices to follow.

Smallpaw stared at Tigerstar when he came. Saved by the Tiger! The small apprentice nodded, saying goodbye to the Windclan cat. She turned, and bounded after her new Leader.

Duskshadow simply cocked his head to one side; why was Tigerstar here? And more so, why did her have two RiverClan apprentices with him? The tom padded forward, being sure that they left before watching them hurry away. Traitors. He resisted the urge to raise his large paws and cuff the larger apprentice in the side of the ear; to watch his blood ooze.

Nightpaw turned back to look at the WindClan warrior snickering audibly, holding up one claw and unsheathing his claws. A threat that he would also tear him apart if he wanted too. "Run back to camp now, warn your little leader. Tigerstar is back!" Nightpaw turned his head and followed the two other cats bounding off the moor and away from the warrior.

[OOC: Alrighty, last post on this thread.]

Duskshadow hissed deeply, audible over the forest scramblings, loud and feirce. "Run little apprentice. Get Tigerstar to protect you. You could never do it yourself." The tom lifted a paw to match the apprentice's; bigger than the younger cat's. Whatever they were up to, Duskshadow knew it would mean chaos throughout the forest.

OOC: lol!

Tigerstar stopped after crossing the boarder again. "We are going over to the old Iceclan Camp, which Fireclan has so nicely let us use for the tim being. He mewed, flicking his tail, and bounding off towards 'Fireclan' territory.

Smallpaw waited for Nightpaw before following Tigerstar. "This is going to be great! We are going to learn so much new fighting skills! And, you get to be Deputy once you get your warrior name! Isn't this great?" She mewed excitedly to Nightpaw.
